LegalGraphRAG: Multi-Agent Graph RAG for Legal Reasoning
LegalGraphRAG is a framework designed to improve retrieval-augmented generation for legal reasoning. It addresses two key challenges: heterogeneous legal corpora with multi-granular knowledge (cases, articles, interpretations) and the need for transparent, evidence-based reasoning. The framework introduces a hierarchical legal graph that organizes legal sources to differentiate between factual details, applied rules, and abstract principles. It also incorporates verification mechanisms to reduce opaque, error-prone reasoning. The approach aims to enable more coherent and reliable legal reasoning by structuring knowledge as relational graphs and using multi-agent retrieval.
